Poem of Hope by Catherine Pulsifer
As long as we have hope,
we have direction,
the energy to move,
and the map to move by.
We have a hundred alternatives,
a thousand paths and infinity of dreams.
Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go;
Hopeless, we are lost forever.
Stumbling upon this poem about Hope, I realized what I have been lacking for some time which was and has never been the case with me before. I’m determined to regain confidence in myself and to ignite that candle of hope to get me back on track.
I also couldn’t agree more with the below observation on the poem:
“Hope is one of the prime differences between successful people and those who can only see failure. Successful people have hope because they can clearly see their goals. People who only see failure have no hope because they see no light, they set no goals, and they see nothing accomplished.
Successful people see alternatives and are willing to try different ways. People who only see failure are unable to see another way and give up to easily.
With hope you are halfway to where you want to go; by setting your goals, and taking the action to achieve them, you will see your hope turn into your reality!”
